The BU better be able to make a check swing call at some point. I think you are going to cause yourself some problem if you are doing a NF game if a coach asks for an appeal and you do not grant one. I am not saying do it on every other pitch, but you better grant appeals no matter where the BU is. What else do they have to do?[/B]
Mr Rutledge,

While I respect your views on this, I do think you may have mis-read Mr Simm's post. He didn't say he wouldn't check when asked. He said he wouldn't check with BU in C UNLESS he was appealed to, presumably by the catcher or manager. In other words, he wouldn't go to BU in C on a half swing on his own volition without an appeal.

Cheers,
